Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen… yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.# (Bradley Whitford)

I called him Pak’e (means : dad). He was a hard, strong figure and disciplined father. The figure reflected the strength of all the action and his behavior. The characters are very different comparing to my mother. Two different characters are very different … united and establish affection until he died at the age of 81 years. Characters that opposite each other between the two. Although different, Pak’e (=dad) and Mak’e (= mom) (as I call them) … is very compact in educating children and grandchildren.

Poverty through which my parents did not deter them to stick together and work hard. Initially, Dad is a labor of fetching water coconut sap, and mom helped neighbors for washing, but along with the grit and tenacity they can trade. Seasonal trade. This means that a wide range of goods sold according to market needs. Trade as he walked to the market according to the market crowd (Pahing, pound, wage, kliwon, legi). Note: the market based on the 5-day count.

Leaving the middle of the night, at midnight they stop at the mosque for prayers tahajud. And if Ramadhan, they bring food for sahur on the road. And provisions brought in only 1 packet of rice (instead of 2 packs of rice). When the time dawn, Mom opened the package, and both just looked at each other and did not eat it. Dad ask Mom to eat first, but Mom says: “I’ve dawn, this is for you, my dear.” Dad began eating the rice, and Dad not finish it. Mom ask: “Why not run out?” Dad replied: “I’ve had enough.” And Mom had spent the rice. Dad knew that mom does not eat yet, but mom lied to make dad want to eat rice it.

Although dad gone .. he was a person who always gives a lovely character to me. Behind the strong & discipline character, you have mom were always gentle and always smiling. Romanticism simple dad and mom do is exemplary that has meaningful for children. I will always love you. Dad is not only the figure of the husband who is very responsible, but Dad is the best for me.

I know, Dad not know what it was Father’s Day … But I thank you has been a great father to me … brothers, sisters, and nephews, nieces. And we are very proud of you. May God always give you love. #
